The ILO, with RBSA support [PSE/16/02/RBS] and financial resources from the Government of Kuwait [PSE/17/50/KWT], provided extensive assistance to the national diagnostic and endorsement of the strategy for the establishment of a national SPF. The ILO delivered:
(a) a mapping of all SPF schemes in the OPT;
(b) a costing study based on the ILO Rapid Assessment Protocol;
(c) an impact assessment of SPF on poverty, gender and child labour;
(d) a fiscal space study on SPF;
(e) a seminar to present and discuss the SPF studies;
(f) a road map for the implementation of the suggested national SPF;
(g) support for the establishment of a task force on SPF data;
(h) recommendations for a unified SP data base; and
(i) a launching seminar for the SPF study.
Social dialogue
The new social security system is governed by a tripartite Board of Directors. The ILO assistance contributed to strengthening the capacity of the tripartite constituents in this framework to engage in meaningful social dialogue around social protection issues.
